HOW TO CHANGE LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH AND HOW TO GET RID OF THE BLACK AND SWITCH IT TO WHITE, GREY, ETC?

Hello there.
The title says it all...

1st, I need to change the language from that PSEUDO-Portuguese to English.
I don't see ANY way I can do that, nor do the tutorials I've already watched solve the problem, or help with anything, which leads me to conclude those tutorials must be for earlier versions and not for this latest one.

2nd, I really HATE that Black, which highly strains my eye-sight and I need to change it to either White or Grey, or whatever else that is NOT Black, so I don't get vertigo after looking away from the screen or get a visual shock when changing to a white/grey window.
This is something CRITICAL for anyone who suffers from Migrains, specially when they're particularly agressive and intense, like mine.
Is there any way to do both of those things?

Because it there's no way of doing both of those things, then I'll fix the problem myself, in less than 2 minutes: COMPLETE UNINSTALL!!!
I hope I wont have to resort to that, specially because this is a Student Account, but hey, it's a Health Issue and Health Comes First!
I'm sorry if I might seem a bit irritated, but I actually am, altough, of course, none of you have anything to do with that, so, my sincerest apologies, but, please, try to understand.
Thanks.

    Hi, I'm going to reply to the "how to change language" part of your questions, since it's one of the first results that show up in search engines when looking for a solution to this problem.

     

    - Open the "Debug Console" with CTRL+F12 (or Cmd+F12 on Mac)

    - Click on the "3 lines" icon next to "Console", and select the option "Debug Database View"

    - Look for the property "ApplicationLanguage", and replace with the correct locale code (for english the most common value would be "en_US"

    - Restart Adobe Premiere Pro

      How to change language of CC apps.

       

      And, from this page: 

      Choose Edit > Preferences > Appearance (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Appearance (macOS).

      Drag the User Interface Brightness slider to the left or right. Click Default to restore the default brightness level.

      Your extremely emphatic style discourages me from offering more help, (I feel as if I'm being blamed) nevertheless...

      I'm  surprised that the procedure to change the default language to English that I referenced didn't work. What was the result when you re-installed Premiere after setting  your CC  preferences to English?

        Hmm..no idea. What OS are you using?

        If Mac OS, have you tried this?

        I believe Windows has a similar process, but I'm not a windows user. 


        It's Windows 10 Pro.
        As you can imagine, I'm not gonna change the OS Defalut Language, just because of 1 specific  software, so I can use only 1 piece of software in another language, makes no sense... 😛
        The thing is, why build the program in such a way, when all other software I've used, tested and tried, it's so easy and fast?
        Run Installer, Ask what Language, Choose, Proceed, Done.
        Or, Default Install, go to Settings/Preferences, Language, Choose, Apply, BOOM, Done!
        Why so heavily complicate what is so simple?

        Same for Colour, why that Black thing when it's so agressive on the Sight an causes migraines and you're stuck with that and the only solution to avoid that is uninstall?
        Has anyone really thought this trhough?
        It's a Health Issue, not some minor detail you can overlook, thus being a Must Address issue to solve on upcoming builds and versions, so users can have a Safe Choice that does not hurt their eyes nor gives them incapacitating exploding-like migraines.
        Another example: Android is also trying to impose that Black thing and is already what comes by Default in plenty of phone models, but you can just go there, change it and it's done, in a snap, no more Black...!
